I had my first dawn visit of the year to one of the local nature reserves a couple of days ago. There wasn't much about - it was rather cool and quite breezy. But there were some Yellow Dung Flies, one of my favourite invertebrate subjects, and very cooperative they were too.
I was hoping to capture some early morning natural light shots of dew-covered insects with the 70D while the insects were inactive, but that needs slow exposures and the breeze made that impractical, so I used flash with the FZ200 instead, with a Raynox 150 closeup lens.
There are 1100 pixel high versions of these in this album over at Flickr.
